You need to Jack Webb that shit and stay away from flowery prose. A good resource is to read all of your household electronics manuals with a critical eye.
Idk who Jack Webb is ๐ , but I agree with you, I'm not thinking of flowery prose, but basic steps and instructions for a beginner to get started. Thanks!
Jack Webb was a detective on an old 1950's series called "Dragnet". Often, when interviewing people during an investigation, they would start editorializing and he would always stop them and say "Just the facts, ma'am" or "Just the facts, sir". I'm old and my references are old. Good luck and all the best!
